Do you love your pet like a member of your family? Is your pet getting older and showing signs of slowing down? Are you worried you may miss the signs that they are in pain?
I can help you learn to improve your pets quality of life. Together we will set goals, specific to your pet and lifestyle, to improve their physical function. We will work as a team to keep them happy and healthy for longer.
Has your pet recently had surgery? Or perhaps they are due to have surgery soon? Are you worried about how to take care of them afterwards to ensure they have a rapid and full recovery to pain free function?
I can teach you about the surgery, what to expect afterwards and appropriate after care. I will help you set goals for the different stages of recovery and teach you to rehab your pet back to fitness, function and happiness.
Does your dog have a niggling lameness that just doesnt seem to be getting better? Are you frustrated at not knowing what to do, beyond medication? Perhaps its a working or sporting dog that just isn't quite performing as well as it used to. This might not be a training issue! There could be an ache or an ouch that he's been hiding from you.
I can perform a thorough physical examination on your dog to localise the issue and come up with a treatment plan. I will involve you in the process and work with your normal veterinarian to get the best outcome we can. If there is something I can't do - I will do everything I can to refer you to someone who can.
